So, I sold them after only 1 month, got the Westone 3's and was VERY happy about my decision, which now felt like a proper upgrade from what I had before - I specially felt the bass, treble and head/ soundstage were generally better on the W3. Comfort was only slightly better also. Absolutely hated the bulky & heavy Shure cables and loved the unobtrusive cable of the W3, which is very light, durable, and it's just one cable without extensions, a big plus for me - no extra bulk after the Y split. On a more personal note, I found the SE530's very cheap/ tacky looking and was extremely disappointed when I actually had the product in my hands, which was a BIG contrast to the very nice looking photos I'd seen on the web where I actually thought they looked rather stylish - I honestly felt that my Sony mdr-ex90 looked better built and much more classy. I found the type of plastic used on the W3 of better quality too and, to me, a nice design. |
